To find the version of MySQL installed on a Linux system using the command line, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
$ mysql --version<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This command will display the version of MySQL that is currently installed on the system, along with some other information, such as the protocol version and the default socket.<\/p>\n

For example, the output of the mysql --version<\/code> command might look something like this:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
mysql Ver 14.14<\/span> Distrib 5.7<\/span>.27<\/span>, for<\/span> Linux<\/span> (x86_64)<\/span> using EditLine wrapper
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You can also find the MySQL version by logging into the MySQL shell and running the following command:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
$ mysql -u root -p
\nEnter password:
\nWelcome to<\/span> the MySQL monitor. Commands end<\/span> with<\/span> ; or<\/span> \\g.
\nYour MySQL connection id is<\/span> 12<\/span>
\nServer version: 5.7<\/span>.27<\/span> MySQL Community Server (GPL)<\/p>\n

\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
